Top 10: Famous passings of 2010

Wednesday

The editor of - and sometime participant in - our online-only Top 10 feature compiles his second annual Top 10 list of the most interesting famous folks who died in the past year.

The conclusion of each year invariably prompts a bit of reflection, to remember those no longer here such as friends and relatives and others who died during the year.

As editor and sometime participant in the Times' wickedly popular online-only Top 10 feature, I have compiled my second annual year-end Top 10 list: the most interesting and influential celebrities who passed on over the past year.

This is my list, my opinion. If you disagree - or wish to suggest others more worthy - use the forum space below:
